About Colombian Gold
A Colombian sativa landrace from the Santa Marta mountains, and a parent of Skunk #1.
Colombian Gold was among the most widely circulated imports of the 1970s and was taken into breeding programmes almost immediately. Its contribution to Skunk #1 put it at the root of a large share of European commercial genetics.
Long-flowering and tall in its original form, which is why most of its descendants are hybrids rather than straight selections.
